WOODEN MEASURE.

SPECIFIGATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 229,231, dated June 29,1880.

Application filed March 6, 1880.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JAQUE ARMANET, of Oswego city, in the county ofOswego and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvementin Wooden Measures, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to wooden measures and to the manufacturethereof.

It consists in certain improvements in wooden vessels made of veneers,and in the method or process of constructing them, which improvementsare hereinafter more particularly set forth and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents a perspective view ofa cylindrical tubing of wooden veneer, from which lengths are to be cutto form the bodies of my measures. Fig. 2 represents a horizontalsection through the body of one of my measures. Fig. 3 represents avertical section through a portion of the same, broken away to show thegrain of the veneers; and Fig. 4 represents a perspective view of one ofmy measures.

In the manufacture of said measures I first glue together three layersof veneer, the grain of the middle one running longitudinally of thestrip thus formed, and the grain of the two other layers runningtransversely I then bend the same, upon a suitable mandrel, into theform of a cylinder, as shown in Fig. 1, using in this step of my processany known form of mechanism heretofore employed for shaping sheets intocylinders upon mandrels or blocks. I then out the cylinder thus formedinto proper lengths for my measures. I then fit wooden bottoms to thesections thus formed and bind them at top and bottom with metal bands,thus completing my measures.

In the accompanying drawings, A designates the triple strip or layer ofveneers forming the body of my measure, and consisting of outer layer,a, inner layer, c and intermediate layer, a. Of these layers, a is theonly one which has its grain running up and down. The grain of layers aand a runs around the cylindrical body.

(Model) F designates an external metallic band surrounding bottom G andthe lower part of the body A, and serving to strengthen and shield thesame.

The bottom G extends beneath all the veneers a a a which form the sidewalls or body A of the measure.

H designates a hoop which is located under bottom Gr and held in placeby band F. This external band, F, is riveted to hoop H.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is

1. Body A, consisting of cross-grain veneers a a. a provided with bottomG, which extends under all of said veneers, and suitable means forholding them together, substantially as set forth. 2. Body A, consistingof cross-grain veneers a a a, provided with bottom G, which extendsunder all of said veneers, hoop H, and plate F, substantially as setforth.

3. As auarticle of manufacture, a measure consisting of the body A,formed from three cross-grain veneers, a lining E, bent to brace theupper end thereof, a bottom, G, extending beneath the entire body, ahoop, H, below said bottom, and a band, F, attached to said hoop andsaid body, substantially as set forth.
